(The ITA initiated a review to determine whether five companies: Bac Lieu Fisheries Joint Stock Company (Bac Lieu JSC); Cadovimex Seafood Import-Export and Processing Joint Stock Company (Cadovimex Vietnam); Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock Company (STAPIMEX JSC); Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation (Thuan Phuoc JSC); and UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Corporation (UTXI Corp.) are successors-in-interest, respectively, to: Bac Lieu Fisheries Company Limited (Bac Lieu Limited); Cai Doi Vam Seafood Import-Export Company (Cadovimex); Soc Trang Aquatic Products and General Import Export Company (STAPIMEX); Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation (Thuan Phuoc SOE); and UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Company (UTXI) for purposes of determining AD duty liability.
The ITA also initiated a review to determine whether Can Tho Import Export Fishery Limited Company (CAFISH) is the successor-in-interest to Can Tho Agricultural and Animal Products Import Export Company (CATACO).)
5 Companies Receive Successor AD Rate, CAFISH Assigned Vietnam-Wide Rate
The ITA continues to find that Bac Lieu JSC; Cadovimex Vietnam; STAPIMEX JSC; Thuan Phuoc JSC; and UTXI Corp. are the successors-in-interest to the respective original companies, and that CAFISH is not the successor-in-interest to CATACO.
Accordingly, the ITA states that Bac Lieu JSC; Cadovimex Vietnam; STAPIMEX JSC; Thuan Phuoc JSC; and UTXI Corp. should receive the same AD duty treatment as the respective original companies to which the ITA found them to be the successor-in-interest. All of these companies currently have an AD duty rate of 4.57%.
CAFISH remains subject to the Vietnam-wide entity rate (currently 25.76%).
AD Rates Effective for Goods with Time of Entry on/After August 20, 2009
The ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection that the cash deposit determination from these changed circumstances reviews will apply to all shipments of the subject merchandise produced and exported by Bac Lieu JSC; Cadovimex Vietnam; STAPIMEX JSC; Thuan Phuoc JSC; UTXI Corp.; or CAFISH with a time of entry on or after August 20, 2009. These deposit rates shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review in which they participate.
